Geography

Ishgar

The eastern part of Earth Land is occupied by a very large peninsula called Ishgar (大陸(イシュガル)Ishugaru), that around is surrounded by scattered isles of differing sizes; the peninsula itself is linked to the mainland, whose geography is mainly unknown.[2]

The territory seems to be split into several countries:

The Kingdom of Dragnof, a country that existed 400 years in the past; the population was made up of both humans and Dragons co-existing peacefully with each other.[3]

The Kingdom of Fiore, occupying a smaller, secondary peninsula sprouting from the main one, to the west.[4]

The Land of Isvan, a country located to the east of Fiore, although its exact location in Ishgar is unknown.

The Principality of Veronica, a small country located in the mountains north to Fiore.[5]

Races

Dragon: A rare, large and immensely powerful reptilian creature.[9] They are known to be very intelligent, and, in some cases, to appreciate humans, sometimes taking them under their protection and teaching them Dragon Slayer Magic.[10][11]

Exceed: Anthropomorphous talking cats capable of sprouting wings and flying through the use of the Magic Aera. They hail from Edolas, a dimension parallel to Earth Land,[12] and they were all transported to the latter by interdimensional Anima portals.[13][14]

Vulcan: Large creatures reminiscent of gorillas with a massive horn topping their heads; they are capable of understanding human language and speaking a rudimentary form of it.[15] They employ Take Over Magic to take the form of humans.[16] They are known to reside on Mt. Hakobe, in the Kingdom of Fiore.[17]

Hane-Sakana: A rare species of fish gifted with wings for flight that is capable of breathing air.[18]

Wyvern: Somewhat reminiscent of Dragons, these winged reptiles are much smaller and more beastly in nature.[19]Blizzardverns are a subspecies that inhabit places with cold climate like mountains unlike Wyverns, which appear to live in the forest.[20]

Magic

Magic (魔法 Mahō) in Earth Land is located inside the body of living organisms.[35] In some races, Magic occurs in all individuals,[16] but only 10% of humankind uses it.[36] Magic can be divided into two main classifications:

Caster Magic (キャスターマジック Kyasutā Majikku): It is Magic which, as the name suggests, is generated and expelled from the caster's body, as opposed to Magic done through the use of a weapon or outside source.[37]

Holder Magic (ホルダーのマジック Horudā Majikku); It is Magic that requires a Mage to employ an external source to be produced.[37]

Trivia

Bosco is first mentioned in Chapter 1 by Bora, as apparently a slave trade is present in this country.[38]

Most of the countries in Earth Land are randomly named. As such, Hiro Mashima has stated that tried to avoid the story's progress to these countries.[2]

Many of the countries' names are simple words borrowed from other languages:
